What Is Mobile Broadband?
Mobile broadband (known as 3g broadband) enables you to surf the Internet at broadband speeds on your laptop from anywhere you have 3G broadband mobile phone coverage. This means you can use your laptop to surf the web or check your emails from wherever you want as opposed to fixed line home broadband or the various wireless hotspots available in hotels, cafes and airports.How Does Mobile Broadband Work?
Mobile Broadband works by connecting your laptop to a 3G broadband mobile phone network using a USB modem (known as a Dongle) or USB stick supplied by the mobile broadband provider. The 3G broadband mobile phone network offered by the likes of T-Mobile, Vodafone, 3 and O2 can typically offer mobile broadband speeds ranging from 2Mb to 7.2Mb, making it comparable with your normal home broadband connection.Compare Mobile Broadband Packages From T-Mobile, Vodafone, 3, Virgin Mobile, Orange & O2
